How to Create a Small Business Website
To succeed online, you need a website that attracts new buyers, delivers a premium user experience, and acts as a central hub for your marketing strategy.
To build a successful website for your small business, you need:
Clarity on What Your Business Is Selling
You started a business because you’re great at what you do or you have an awesome idea. The first step to establishing a website that works is getting crystal clear on exactly what your business is selling, what makes it unique, how it is different from your competition, what results it produces, and how someone will benefit from those results. You need to be able to communicate why someone else needs what you’re selling.
Clarity on Who Your Business Is Selling To
While design is a critical part of launching a successful small business website, the website copy—the words on the website’s page—is even more important. The website content needs to be written to your target market. When you know who your ideal client or customer is, you can tailor everything from the headline to the call to action to that person so they feel like your website and offers were created just for them.
An Irresistible List-Building Offer
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “The money is in the list!” It gets repeated by business coaches and small business owners constantly because it’s true! To ensure long-term success for your small business, you need to build a email list full of people who want to hear from you. That effort needs to start the day you launch. For every $1 you spend on email marketing, you can expect an average return of $42. So what are you waiting for?
Expert Positioning and Audience Education
While every small business website needs pages like the homepage, about page, services page, testimonials page, and contact page, it also needs a place to educate. Your blog is the perfect place to share opinions, perspectives, tips, and tricks, tell stories, demonstrate expertise, and connect with your audience on a deeper level. Small businesses that publish new content regularly enjoy more traffic and more conversions.
A Clear Path to Conversion
Whether you’re a startup, ecommerce website, or blog, every small business website needs to turn visitors into subscribers, leads, clients, and customers, and that means guiding them through the buyer journey step-by-step. Your website needs to help people get to know you, decide they like you, and figure out that they trust you so they feel comfortable taking action—buying, signing up, subscribing, registering, joining, enrolling, contacting, etc.
Testimonials and Case Studies
The fastest way to build trust with new clients and customers is to leverage social proof and show them that other people have hired or bought from your small business in the past and had a great experience. Sharing testimonials and case studies not only help mitigate risk and put prospective clients at ease, but they also show them what’s possible if they hire you and inspire them to take action.
Beautiful, Professional Design
Professional, beautiful design ensures your small business is taken seriously. It also helps build respect and trust, positions your business as higher quality, and helps people find what they need quickly and easily. You need your website to be your best salesperson, which means it need to reflect your brand’s personality and be the next best thing to speaking with you in person.
Consistent Calls to Action
Your website exists to get more clients and customers, which means it needs to have an eye-catching, clean, powerful call to action that persuades visitors to take the next step. Where most small business go wrong, however, is not using a consistent design for their calls to action across their website. Luckily, we make that easy with pre-designed call to action blocks you can use anywhere on your site.

What Our Customers are Saying About Mai Solution
They are a great company, very good at what they do. They offer great insight into Web design & SEO. I am extremely satisfied with their services, response time, & creativity. They have been more than helpful in trying to understand our immigration law firm needs. We highly recommend BizBudding to any small business looking to grow their law firm online.
Abdo M. Fouda
The process was pretty seamless. After we got the site live, someone accidentally took away my Admin status but it was fixed within a few minutes of me saying something. Also, part of the setup was attaching some opt-in forms to my Aweber account and whoever did that, didn’t ask which email list to use (and I forgot to say) so they just hooked it up to one, I assume by guessing. I found the error by testing the opt-in myself. But these are very, very minor points – like I said, the process was seamless.
Nate Rifkin
This has been such an amazing experience! I knew I needed help, but I just didn’t know where it was going to come from. You guys have made my website look so professional, I can’t wait for people to see it! My new site looks AMAZING! The help I have received from everyone has been so great. I am so happy to have you guys on my team. I am so dedicated to making this blog a success, and I think with BizBudding’s help, that will actually be possible!

With the WordPress block editor, you get all the functionality and ease of a website builder, without the limitations of typical page builders. Customize to your heart’s content and create something that is truly unique to your brand.

How much should I pay for a domain name? Do you offer free domains?
The cost of a domain name can vary widely and what you can or are willing to invest will vary based upon your budget and the availability of the name you want. Most domains cost somewhere between $9–14.99. We do not offer a free domains (we recommend Hover and GoDaddy). But, if you choose Mai Solution you can start building your site without a domain, then just update it when you are ready to launch.
